Neymar returned to the pitch on Sunday night after a two-month absence due to injury, scoring twice as Paris Saint-Germain won their first league game since his return.

The Brazilian forward had been out with a hamstring injury for almost two months but was back in action against Lyon at Parc des Princes. He scored both goals in PSG's 2-0 win, which lifted them to the top of the table ahead of their rivals.

Neymar's return was greeted with a standing ovation from the home crowd, who had been eagerly awaiting his return after he missed three games last month with a knee injury.

He was also named man of the match by the referee, who praised him for his "exceptional performance" and for being "the best player on the pitch".

His return has been much anticipated by fans and players alike, and it looks like he will be a key part of PSG's title push this season.

Despite his return, Neymar is not expected to play every game, with coach Mauricio Pochettino preferring to rest him when necessary.

However, his return is certainly a positive sign for PSG, and they will hope that he can continue to perform at a high level throughout the rest of the season.
